In January 2001 the University received a gift of £100,000 from Professor Henriques, a former member of staff in the Department of History and Welsh History, University College, Cardiff (1960-1981) for the establishment of the Professor URQ Henriques Scholarship Fund.
The purpose of the fund is to provide support for postgraduate students within the School of History, Archaeology and Religion, the School of European Languages, Translation and Politics, and the School of English, Communication and Philosophy.
Income from the Fund will be used to provide scholarships for postgraduate students in one or more of the Schools concerned. Each year the award will rotate between the schools, with students of each school being eligible for the award every three years.
In 2010/11 the scholarship was awarded by the Cardiff School of European Languages, Translation and Politics. It will be awarded by the School of History, Archaeology and Religion in 2011/12 and by the School of English Communication and Philosophy in 2012/13. Which means 2013/14 will again be awarded by Cardiff School of European Languages, Translation and Politics.
